Madden Metcalf has inked with MCA and Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Freddy Wexler.

“Madden has all the things you can’t teach—great instincts, authenticity, charisma, star power,” shares Wexler. “He’s also someone with an infectious sense of gratitude. It makes you want to move a mountain for him. I’m incredibly excited to work with MCA as we help Madden build something real and lasting.”

“Madden has a clear voice and uncommon level of conviction for someone so early in his career,” says Mike Harris, President & CEO of MCA. “His music reflects real life, real place, and real identity — and that’s the foundation of what makes an artist stand out. We’re proud to be his label home and help amplify what he’s building.”

First discovered by his manager Olivia Wexler, who helped guide his development alongside Wexler Records, he is slated to release an EP later this year.

In celebration of the signing, Metcalf released a new single, “Like My Hometown,” inspired by upbringing in Panacea, Florida.

“I still can’t believe that a Gulf Coast kid from a small fishing town of about a thousand people gets an opportunity like this,” Metcalf adds. “I’m just incredibly thankful to God, to my family, to my team, and to everyone who’s been with me from the start.”
